FINDING YOUR PERSONAL STYLE
When Fashion Meets Mindfulness
I’ve probably seen every single “Life In Looks” Vogue series on YouTube. If you haven’t, it’s a conversation where celebrites reminisce, using iconic style moments as a lens to explore the deeper narrative of personal or professional growth. It’s such a cool way of showing how fashion can narrate your story without needing to say a single word.
“You’re so short, you’re never gonna work that much anyway!”
In an episode of Life in Looks, Kate Moss reflects on a pivotal moment in her career, recalling the remark. She revisits this iconic look, including her legendary Calvin Klein campaign, which shattered industry norms and ushered in the “anti-supermodel” era – embracing individuality over convention.
This is more than just a fashion retrospective but more a storytelling device – where outfits can become chapters in a person’s journey. Kate Moss’s reflection perfectly embodies this idea. Her Calvin Klein campaign wasn’t just a career milestone; it symbolized a shift in the modeling industry, proving that individuality could redefine beauty standards. Her story reinforces how fashion isn’t just about what you wear but about the statement it makes – without saying a word.
The evolution of one’s personal style SO interesting. And quite telling. When it comes to finding my personal style, I particularly enjoy the way my fashion sense changes alongside the journey of discovering myself. I sometimes look at throwbacks and my past outfit choices rattle me. Not that it’s a big deal; I’m pretty sure 99% of the time the vision made sense then, or at least reflected what was deemed cool at the time. I can’t seem to justify why every outfit of mine required a crop top, though. So Bella Hadid-coded.
Life in Looks: They remind you of where you’ve been and how far you’ve come, making them a meaningful part of your personal journey.
So you want to find your personal style. I believe the journey to finding your personal style reflects a deeper, more introspective process – one that goes beyond surface-level fashion and trends. It’s not about rejecting conformity for the sake of being different, but rather about staying true to yourself while navigating the ever-changing world around you. The essence of personal style, begins from within. It’s an internal evolution that mirrors your growth, values, and experiences before it can be truly reflected in what you wear.
Being on the search for your personal style is an ongoing process of adapting to new experiences, just as the celebrities in “Life in Looks” adapt their style as their identity evolves. Your style becomes a reflection of your personal narrative, much like the iconic looks seen in the series. As for me? I’m slowly realising that no matter how often my style changes, the essence of the journey is captured in the fluidity and connections to the woman I’m becoming.
